Strikethrough Text Generator
Cross out text with a strikethrough you can paste into Discord, Instagram, Twitter, and anywhere with no strikethrough button. Free and instant.
Calculator by Toolsloft ↗Add a line through your text to show something crossed out, such as an old price, a struck-through word, or a joke edit, then paste it into chats and posts that have no strikethrough button. Type your text and copy the crossed-out version out. The result is plain Unicode, so it keeps working after you paste it.
How this is calculated
Each character is followed by the Unicode combining long stroke overlay (U+0336). Combining marks attach to the character before them, so placing one after every character draws a continuous line through the whole string. Nothing is removed from your text; the strike is an overlay, which is why it survives copy and paste.
How to use
- Type or paste your text into the input box.
- The strikethrough version appears instantly in the output box.
- Copy it and paste it into your message, post, or bio.
Examples

Sale -> S̶a̶l̶e̶
FAQ
- How does the strikethrough survive copy and paste?
- The line is a combining Unicode character layered onto each letter, not formatting applied by an app. Because it is part of the text itself, it comes along when you copy and paste, which is why it works in places that offer no strikethrough button.
- Will it show up correctly everywhere?
- In most modern apps and browsers, yes. A small number of older systems draw combining marks imperfectly, so the line may sit slightly off. It is worth a quick test paste where you intend to use it.
- Does it change the words themselves?
- No. The letters stay exactly as you typed them and only gain an overlaid line, so the text remains readable and searchable.
